Carotenoid Mutants of Mucor circinelloides

Botanica Acta, 1995
AbstractThe wild‐type of the filamentous fungus Mucor circinelloides accumulates the yellow pigment β‐carotene. At a continuous blue‐light fluence rate of 0.1 W/m2 the β‐carotene content increases about eight fold over the dark controls. Among the mutants isolated after exposure of spores to either N‐methyl‐N'‐nitro‐N‐nitrosoguanidine or ICR‐170, a red

Microbial metabolism of partheniol by Mucor circinelloides

Phytochemistry, 2002
Six new partheniol metabolites were isolated from the biotransformation reaction with Mucor circinelloides ATCC 15242. These metabolites are: humula-1(10), 4, 7-trien-6alpha-ol 2, maali-3-en-8alpha-ol 3, aromadendrane-4alpha, 8alpha, 10alpha-triol 4, maaliane-4alpha, 8alpha, 9alpha-triol 5, maaliane-5alpha, 8alpha, 9alpha-triol 6, 5(9), 6 ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation ofMucor circinelloides

Folia Microbiologica, 2005
The Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of the zygomycetous fungus Mucor circinelloides is described. A method was also developed for the hygromycin B-based selection of Mucor transformants. Transformation with the hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene of Escherichia coli controlled by the heterologous Aspergillus nidulans trpC promoter ...

Acetate-enhanced polymerized triacylglycerol utilization by Mucor circinelloides

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2005
We found that laboratory-prepared sunflower oil waste containing polymerized triacylglycerols (PTAGs) still within South African regulatory levels (i.e. 1, 5, 10 and 15% w/w) is effectively degraded by the fungus Mucor circinelloidesin the presence of acetate. Poor utilization was experienced in its absence.

Dimorphic Mechanism on cAMP Mediated Signal Pathway in Mucor circinelloides

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2020
Mucor circinelloides is a dimorphic fungus that is a non-pathogen strain belonging to zygomycetes. In this research, a part of hypothetical mechanism on yeast-like cell induction of M. circinelloides in CO2 atmosphere was reported from the viewpoint of gene expression.

Transformation of Mucor circinelloides f. lusitanicus Protoplasts

2014
Since the first report of a Mucor circinelloides transformation system, many things have been improved by small changes that either simplify the original procedure, or use new technologies. Today, people working on this fungus have alternative methods of transformation that allow them choosing the most suitable one for their purposes.

Critical applications of Mucor circinelloides within a biorefinery context

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2019
The establishment of an efficient and feasible biorefinery model depends on, among other factors, particularly the selection of the most appropriate microorganism. Mucor circinelloides is a dimorphic fungus species able to produce a wide variety of hydrolytic enzymes, lipids prone to biodiesel production, carotenoids, ethanol, and biomass with ...

Activation of Mucor circinelloides lipase in organic medium

Journal of Molecular Catalysis B: Enzymatic, 2002
Abstract An intracellular Mucor circinelloides lipase either in the form of mycelium-bound enzyme, or in the homogeneous and soluble form, was subjected to activation experiments. It was found that some compounds, such as pyridine, diethanolamine (DEtA), triethanolamine (TEtA), and cetylpyridinium bromide, either increase or decrease the synthetic ...
